After speaking at a conference, which was meant to be mostly insular about adding new education departments, a reporter, who showed up to ask about the latest “Compact” of the University, raised a question to him as he stood at the podium. Although not expected to answer any more questions about this issue, at least not at this event, the President boldly decided to respond to the various concerns she listed: “You know, no one really knows what the ‘U’ in UArizona really means.” *He spoke proudly before looking wistfully upon the audience.* “Personally, I think it should mean ‘Unity’.”
